On Friday, organised labour announced that it would commence a nationwide indefinite strike due to the Federal Government’s refusal to increase the proposed minimum wage from N60,000.

According to the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, the strike will begin at midnight on Sunday, June 2, 2024.
